ABSTRACT
Molecular studies have been performed on a Greek family with factor XIII-A subunit deficiency. The 15 exons of the A subunit gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and analysed by direct nucleotide sequencing. A homozygous single base insertion (1286insC) in exon 9 of the gene was identified in three affected family members. The insertion results in a frameshift and a premature stop signal a short distance downstream at codon 403. Any A subunit protein expressed is likely to be unstable and lack part of the catalytic core domain together with both beta barrel domains towards the C-terminal of the molecule. This study contributes to our knowledge of the mutational spectrum in patients with factor XIII-A deficiency.
